HIV is certainly character-building. It's made me see all of the shallow things we cling to, like ego and vanity. Of course, I'd rather have a few more T-cells and a little less character. Randy Shilts

US atheists offer pet rescue after judgment dayWASHINGTON (AFP) Ė When judgment day comes -- which some US Christian fundamentalists insist will happen on Saturday -- have you thought about what you're going to do with the family dog and cat?

In 26 US states, you could have them rescued and adopted by enterprising atheists who have set up a business to care for the animal companions of any Christians who are selected to go to heaven when Jesus Christ comes back....

This is way too 4th dimensional. I like to think that we are already 'aligned with Eight Dimensional Agreements and Ninth Dimensional Higher Intelligence'. Dont feed the cat early and keep the dog inside please!

May 21, 2011, according to loyal listeners of Family Radio, a Christian broadcasting network based in Oakland, California, will mark the Day of Rapture and the start of Judgment Day (which, they say, will last five months). Those who are saved will be taken up to heaven, and those who arenít will endure unspeakable suffering. Dead bodies will be strewn about as earthquakes ravage the Earth, they say. And come October 21, theyíll tell you, the entire world will be kaput......

And here I thought I was just going to be single and surrounded by homeless pets, unless that is the "unspeakable suffering" of which they, uh, don't speak.

Sorry to disappoint you girls and boys - so put those pumps and bonnets back in the closet.

"Nobody knows the exact day when these things are going to happen," Steve Wohlberg, who has written more than two dozen books about the End of Days, told the Daily News Thursday.

Wohlberg believes the theory that the world will end on May 21, a date set by 89-year-old Family Radio founder Harold Egbert Camping, is "flat-out wrong."

"He is misinterpreting the Bible," he said. "He's a false teacher."

Wohlberg argues that Camping is taking advantage of the present climate of fear. From earthquakes in Japan to storms in the southern United States to violence around the globe, people are growing concerned.

"They're looking at all of these disasters and everything that's going on in the planet, and this is creating a climate of deep interest in Biblical prophecy," he said. "I think that Camping is tapping into that interest, but he's wrong."

Wohlberg said the Bible does not give a date for the end of the world and Camping's system for determining the date is based on "speculation" that's a mixture of truth and fiction.

As a result, he "makes Christians out to be a laughing stock."

Besides, I can hear that last line coming out of Matty

I think that, with regard to these matters, we can safely discount the views of people whose names end in "berg".

I'm not sure I understand what the point of all this is supposed to be. Are they trying to scare people into repenting and converting or something or what? And if so, unless you really and truly believe the world's going to end, wouldn't you think that it would blow your credibility with the audience you're trying to reach when it doesn't happen according to your schedule?

And I also don't understand how anyone who truly is all that devout could think they have an inside into the end date when it says in the bible that nobody's gonna know. A god that would destroy the tower of babel is a gpd that would change the date just to spite.

Whatever this foolishness is, it sure is getting some press. The was a story about it on the evening news awhile ago. I didn't hear exactly what...it was just blabbing from the other room.

On the bright side, I really have gotten my house in order today. I have cleaned and organized and washed the car and bathed the dog. You'd swear I had a good sack o' rock, but no. Just good ol' fashioned motivation.

Note the miracle which allows that skinny fella to lift that great big fat chick like she's made of styrofoam!

Praise!

Hallelu!!

Matty, are you still with us? Isn't Australia 15 hours ahead of our Eastern Time Zone, which would make it 6:30pm there--30 mins past the time all hell breaks loose? I know you'll be the first the baby Jebus takes up to Heaven.

Just wanted to let y'all know that I am being raptured. I'll be ascending into heaven in a few minutes (just having some tea and crackers while I wait for that fucking light beam to come get me).

See ya.
